Forth for the Texas MSP430F microcontrollers

This is a subroutine threaded
Forth with native code and optimisation. There is very little
overhead as there is no Forth kernel, only a small Target
Link
Monitor,
a Library supplies those Forth words as required by the application.
Many words, like AND, OR, + etc. create in-line code with no
CALL...RET to speed up the overall performance.

Via the TLM
and a modified serial programmer, IRTC
allows a Forth
application to be interactively developed. IRTC
transparently
switches from MSP430 programming to Forth development and back. All
the MSP430 resources may be viewed and modified from the command
line. Registers, I/O, RAM and code may all be dumped. Forth
definitions may be entered on the command line and then immediately
executed. Interrupts may be coded and initialized directly with
vectors stored in RAM allowing several tries as the code is developed
without erasing.

The host for IRTC
is Win32Forth by Tom
Zimmer and associates. This is a full 32bit ANSI Forth for Windows95
up. You will need Win32For V4.1 if you do not have it already, click here
